Plenty of Muslims want peace and harmony

I am so proud and excited to have read Zainab Al-Suwaij's op-ed piece "Stand up for our values" (Sept. 24). Ms. Al-Suwaij has great insight and courage to have printed her opinion regarding the behavior of radicals and their attack on the U.S. embassies. Unfortunately, the impression of many Americans is that Muslims are a hate-mongering, angry, primitive group of people. The world only sees the loud violent anger. I hope that Ms. Al-Suwaij's thoughts are taken very seriously and that the women of the Muslim religion support her in her outstanding efforts to educate the world that there are plenty of Muslims who want peace and harmony.

Weeks after the attack in Benghazi, American reporters interviewed Ahmed Abu Khatallah at a cafe in Libya, so why did it take our government almost two years to capture him and why now on Fathers Day ("Benghazi suspect was planning more attacks, U.S. tells U.N.," June 18)?

Was the Benghazi Coverup done because it might have affected Barack Obama's re-election chances in 2012 and Hillary Clinton's White House run in 2016? The latest report is virtually saying that no one is to blame ("Tom Schaller: The right systematically manufactures bogus news," Nov. 25).

Democrats are accusing Republicans of attempting to "tarnish" President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the Benghazi incident ("Anatomy of a smear," May 14). This would be funny if it were not so tragic.

As the details of the Benghazi catastrophe continue to unravel, the whole episode is so depressing because, in retrospect, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and his three cohorts could have been avoided ("The latest Benghazi attack," May 5).
